In the video below, cops at a New York City subway station rescue a scared cat off the rails and return him to his owner.
When Mila Rusafova, the owner of the cat named George, heard a disturbance as they were traveling home from the veterinarian, George leaped out of Mila and into the railroad track. Unfortunately, in the distance, a train was approaching slowly and steadily.
Mila became frantic and other people came to alarm the subway conductor to halt the MTA train. Then Officers Brian Kenny and Gus Vargas showed up on the scene and jumped into the tracks to help the little cat before it could wander farther away.

“He was panting, he was petrified,” said Officer Brian Kenny. “He didn’t move a muscle. The third rail was only four inches from his tail.
“He looked at us. I picked him up, he reached for both of my shoulders like a baby. He almost hugged me,” Kenny said. “I love animals. Nothing would have happened to George. We were going to make sure of it.”
Although this caused heavy subway delays, we’re happy these men were there to save the day. They did their best to bring this poor baby to safety.
